Black Moon transiting houses

The Astrology of the Black Moon by Laura Walker does a great job explaining the energies of this non-physical object from different perspectives. I found it lacking in certain respects and this article seeks to explain in more detail one such perspective. More exactly, I will address Black Moon (BML) transits through natal houses.

Besides aspects to natal planets and points, transits should also be observed in their relation to natal houses. Given the houses cover areas of life, it makes it easier to discern which sectors might be affected by transits, how, and to what degree. This applies to BML transits, especially since it usually goes about unnoticed, whether because some solely consider traditional astrology, or because those who dabble in modern astrology are more concerned with other forces.

To begin with, we must consider all transits as being macrocosmic influences. That is to say, they represent the totality of forces that act upon us in various ways. Their influences have acted upon people long before we were born and will continue to do so long after we pass into the beyond. This takes place irrespective of whether some pretentious dork, in his apparent infinite wisdom, doesn't think the energies of the heavens affect life down here.
